The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and the Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt Institute (FERI) offer Roosevelt Archival Internships to
college and graduate level students. Preference may be given to
students majoring in history, political science, archival, library,
or computer/information science. Research skills, basic computer
skills, familiarity with the Internet, and knowledge of Windows,
Word Perfect, and Access database software are particularly
valuable. Some familiarity with the history of the Franklin D.
Roosevelt presidency (1933-1945) is helpful.

Roosevelt interns work at the FDR Library as part of a team of
other interns and staff professionals to organize and automate
archival materials, make indices, finding aids, and databases,
digitize documents and photographs, and assist with other archival
and museum projects. The work schedule is Monday-Friday, 9:00-
5:00.

Internships can last six or seven weeks, and must take place
during the Summer break (mid-May through the end of August).
The FDR Library is in Hyde Park, New York, a rural/suburban town 80
miles north of New York City. There may be an opportunity for one
or two interns to work on the New Deal Network Web site project in
New York City.

Interns receive a stipend of $1200-1400 ($200 per week). The
internships are funded by the William R. Emerson Archival
Internship Fund and by the FDRL/FERI Roosevelt Internship Program,
both of which are managed by FERI.

The deadline for applications is April 1.

If you have any questions, contact Raymond Teichman, Supervisory
Archivist,
FDR Library at (914)229-8114.
